Forecasts

Midnight Crystal (3/1), Trump My Queen (10/3), Ipso Facto (7/2), Paton's Tears (4/1), Trentino (6/1), Special Charm (10/1), Greek Miss (14/1), Memorial Day (16/1), Lilliana (16/1), Woman Of Substance (25/1), Princess Kesh (28/1)

TRUMP MY QUEEN is just about best of these all things considered but will need to be firing on all cylinders. Paton's Tears is not one to underestimate however, while Princess Kesh is another to consider.
